Real teaching, but diary flow

However, regardless of the circumstances, this should be a good thing.

At least, the confusion that had been weighing on her mind for five months could finally be resolved.

"You, me, that..."

Even though the moment of truth was fast approaching, Kaguya Shinomiya found herself becoming hesitant and stammering when she asked her questions.

"Can you tell me what 'wanting to become a photographer' means?"

This statement is without the filter effect of the diary.

In other words, the words will be clearly transmitted from the speaker so that Hayasaka Ai can hear them.

Hayasaka Ai's expression then began to become subtle.

...Is this what you wanted to ask, Miss?

No, what is a photographer?

And why ask this person in the first place?

What does it have to do with you, Miss, who wants to become a photographer?

Hayasaka Ai couldn't understand it at all.

But, well... if Miss wants to ask, then ask.

I'll just listen to what they're saying.

"..."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai: "...?"

What do you guys say?

Hayasaka Ai had originally planned to listen with the intention of hearing gossip, but no matter how hard she strained her ears, she couldn't seem to hear anything.

Although the call was still going on, the two of them fell silent as if they had pressed the mute button at the same time.

"Young Miss? Asakusa-kun?"

What was initially thought to be an eerie, synchronized silence turned into something else entirely when Hayasaka Ai tentatively spoke.

"Quiet."

But the young lady suddenly pressed her down.

Hayasaka Ai: "...?"

What exactly is this feeling of being completely excluded from some kind of high-dimensional encrypted private call/connection?

【111111】

Yes, that's right, I'm writing in my diary.

"Hey, hey, hey, writing a diary now?!"

That's how it is.

The eerie silence was because the sound of turning pages in the diary had replaced the sound of voices; Kaguya Shinomiya's words, because they involved the diary, were distorted into silence by the perception filter.

Yes, this is the encrypted call that only Hayasaka Ai couldn't participate in.

A phone call using a diary.

Of course, I'll write it now.

Never mind that, anyway, before I start, I still need to explain the situation to my other readers.

Today is the Sports Festival, a relatively long-awaited major event.

As is customary, I was supposed to give away some special spoilers at this sports festival.

But I didn't; I didn't say anything.

The reason is simple: it's too boring.

This year's sports festival was incredibly boring; there were no plot twists, no schemes, no betrayals, and no backstabbing.

You can see the whole thing at a glance.

Anyway, it wasn't a special exam; it was just a school-level activity where even the rewards seemed so pitiful that it was uninspiring.

The only thing worth mentioning is that this year's sports festival brought forward the open events that were originally scheduled to take place during the cultural festival.

Visitors from outside the school (×)

The sightseeing of cattle and horses by powerful figures outside the school (√)

Essentially, it's about showcasing the vitality of this batch of cattle and horses to those in power.

So it's meaningless.

But the openness itself is still quite interesting.

At least, someone came, unexpectedly but logically.

There are probably more people, but I can only see two so far.

I won't mention her name, but I'm planning to make her my personal illustrator so she can draw things for me.

I'm having a long phone conversation with the other one.

Forget it, I won't use any ambiguous language on purpose. I'm on the phone with her.

She planned to come here to find me; although she wasn't there in person, it was still considered sending someone.

I took the initiative to contact that person and had her dial this number.

What? You mean you're writing in your diary after already making a phone call?

Nonsense, it's because I want to.

The question this young lady wanted to ask me was about a legendary composition, and I felt that it would be a disservice to my status if I didn't share it with everyone.

...What is your identity?

Sister, even today you still don't know that I'm the protagonist of the "Exposure Diary"?

...Um, I'm sorry, there might be a problem with me releasing fewer and fewer content, which sometimes makes you feel like 'Is this guy done for?'

But it's okay, at least we'll have something to do today.

Before you now is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, the ice beauty of Shuchiin Academy. She excels academically, consistently ranking first among first-year students at Shuchiin Academy, and is a rare 'all-around genius'!

Yes, she's a woman who wants to be a photographer in the future.

Why a photographer?

I'm also very curious about this. Although I really want to interview Ms. Shinomiya herself in depth, I think she probably doesn't know that she would say such a thing, and she's completely baffled by what she said.

If it had logic, it wouldn't be a timeless classic.

Let me think... what was it like when Lady Shinomiya said those words?

I recently started learning to draw, and I can now produce something that's at least passable.

Let's turn to a page of timeless classics.

】

The black and white strokes and the clean lines depict the drawing that left the reader with a lot of questions.

Night, bright moon, clouds and mist, grove of trees.

It was like a scene from the countryside, under the bright moonlight.

There are two people.

One was a black-haired girl wearing a white dress, or perhaps a solid-colored outfit that wasn't white, her hands tightly gripping something, seemingly tense, her lips parted in a slightly resolute manner.

One of them was a bald man, dressed in a floral shirt and solid-colored trousers, sitting on a rock, looking up at the girl in a daze.

The composition is superb, the angle is superb, but what's even more amazing is the sentence in the painting.

"I want to be a photographer in the future."

These are the words spoken by the young girl.

To be honest, it's a bit disjointed and incomplete.

Without any prior cause or consequence, it's just a sudden, inexplicable image that makes your brain go blank.

...Not quite the essence.

Fortunately, Asakusa Tetsu seemed to know that this was not enough, so he added a small section below.

He added three small squares.

One panel shows Hayasaka Ai staring blankly at the tablet holding the video call, and Iino Miko, a girl who is wide-eyed and staring at the content of the call. Next to her is Fujiwara Chika, a girl with bangs and a bow tie, who seems to have the same expression.

The first figure was a black-haired man who appeared out of nowhere, his pupils contracted, quite shocking.

The last cell features a man in a floral shirt who is clearly older than he is. He is holding a cigarette so tightly that he seems to be losing his grip, and his expression is one of daze.

Indeed, if we're talking about this masterpiece composition, the three accompanying reaction images are the real gems.

It has that quality.

It really gives off that "What the hell are you talking about?" vibe.

Right?

I think so too.

It's absolutely stunning.

Whether then or now, I really want to crack open your skull to see why this conversation happened.

There are no humans left!

Relax, I know you're also confused and troubled.

It's normal to feel like, "Is this just random scribbles?", "What the hell is this?", or "What the hell is this?"

Let me explain the situation to you; you'll only become more confused.

Background information.

The Shinomiya family is on the verge of bankruptcy (yes, the Shinomiya family with such outrageous stats), and the reason is...

I don't remember clearly, but it seems like someone was critically ill? Yes, the head of the Shinomiya family was critically ill.

In short, the family began to fall into turmoil, and the Shinomiya family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

That's insane.

Because of the family's turmoil, the Shinomiya family felt that they needed to stabilize the situation through a marriage alliance, and naturally, they chose you, Miss Shinomiya, as their target. The marriage partner was obviously your classmate, Shijou Tei, who was the same age as you.

And so, a chaotic... plot unfolded that I probably can't quite describe precisely.

Because of someone else, you were forced into an arranged marriage and imprisoned.

Because... well, friend, or perhaps it's mainly because your good third brother chose to exert his influence for various reasons?

In any case, the ones who actually helped were the dumbfounded people below.

Add to that Shijou Tei, who has no intention of marrying you.

Amidst the chaotic farce, you flee, and he chases after you.

She ran, he chased, she...

Forget it, it doesn't really fit, so I'll stop using this meme.

Because of the attacks, the very fact that the eldest daughter was threatened with an arranged marriage might have a somewhat negative impact on public opinion.

With the situation unfolding this way, your good older brother finally seemed relieved.

I started talking to you about weighing the pros and cons.

The family needs you! We've raised you for so many years, how can you not repay us?! If you don't go, everyone will be in trouble! How can you bear to watch your brothers suffer?!

The words may not be exactly what they say, but the flavor is the same.
